Thanks for your reply.

Right before my latest test I cleared the old logs. After starting the deletion again, it stayed at 0% (“Cleaning Up Staging Site Tables”) and no new entries were written.

Do i still need to email you the exported log files from WP Staging → System information?

Thanks

Hi, thanks for your reply!

1. I’ve checked the sitemap_index.xml and confirmed that the total number of URLs listed across all sitemap files is well over 7,000.
2. I did find this error in the debug.log, although I’m not sure if it’s directly related:

[24-Jul-2025 13:25:11 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 273678336 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4198400 bytes) in /usr/www/users/wmbicom/wp-content/object-cache.php on line 2553

I’ll try another test to verify whether this memory issue is affecting the preload process and I’ll report back with the results.

Thanks again for your support!

Thanks for the follow-up.

I checked the debug.log, but it was empty — no specific errors were logged.
Unfortunately, simply reverting to the previous plugin version wasn’t enough to restore access to wp-admin. I had to restore a full database backup to get the site working again.
It was quite a mess, to be honest.

Let me know if there’s anything else I can check.

Thanks again.

That fixed it, thank you!

Thank you for your reply.

Here are the details you requested:

Poll Maker plugin version: 5.5.1.
PHP version: 8.0.30.
WordPress version: 6.6.2.

Please let me know if you need any further information.

Thank you for your assistance!

Thank you for your detailed response.

I apologize for the confusion. After further testing, I realized that I was not logged in on mobile and was logged in on desktop. Since my caching settings are configured to bypass the cache for logged-in users, this explains why the issue didn’t occur on desktop, as I was seeing the non-cached version of the page.

I’ll try adjusting the cache expiration time for non-logged-in users.

Best regards,
Andy

The polls are integrated directly into the articles, which are the most important and frequently visited pages on the site. Therefore, excluding the articles from caching isn’t a viable option as it could negatively impact performance.

Since the articles need to be cached, it seems that the only option is to reduce the cache expiration time.

Do you think this approach could work, or would you recommend any specific settings or alternative methods to balance caching performance with dynamic poll updates?

Thank you for your assistance!
